As Paul introduced Jim to various styles of craft whisky, it piqued Jims curiosity and got him wondering about the parallels between making good whisky and making good beer. As Jim began researching the whisky-making process, he realized that his foundation in home-brewing beer could make a useful foundation for craft distilling. As the saying goes, Whisky is what beer wants to be when it grows up. While its not quite that simple, that is a driving principle behind Do Goods unique whisky line-up. Jims passion and drive made convincing his family that his crazy idea to open a distillery in Modesto, CA fairly easy. While Do Good Distillery was still a someday dream, tragedy struck and we lost Paul in a car accident. Losing Paul drove home the idea that life is simply too short and uncertain for us to be doing anything less than passionately pursuing our dreams. So, on October 11, 2013, Do Good Distillery was founded on what wouldve been Pauls 31st birthday. The name, Do Good comes from a quote attributed to Ben Franklin, You do well, by doing good. We find that as a simple guiding principle that sums up our business and commitment to helping our community quite nicely. Because of the key role that Paul played in the foundation of Do Good Distillery, his handsome face graces all of our tamper seals and our tasting room wall. Paul is also the inspiration behind our NightHawk Rye bourbon.OUR PROCESSFrom the beginning, weve been committed to producing every spirit we make from grain to glass. As we don't source alcohol from anyone. The whisky-making process starts just like beer-making. After we mill our grain, its combined with hot water and enzymes in our mashtun. From there, the wash (un-fermented beer) is cooled and pumped into fermenters where it gets mixed with yeast and left to ferment for several days. Once fermentation is complete, the wash gets distilled two times in our 660 gallon pot still. From there, it is pumped into barrels to age until its ready. There truly is magic in the barrel-aging process. At Do Good, we utilize a wide variety of barrels to accentuate and compliment the specific flavors in each of out whisky recipe. Certain recipes benefit from layering flavors, so well transfer the spirits from one type of barrel to another during the maturation process. Each day we produce 1600-2000 gallons of wastewater, consisting of spent grain, dead yeast and water. Rather than dump it all down the drain, we ship our wastewater to an anaerobic digester where it is used to help produce electricity.
